Strahan To Join ‘Good Morning America’ Part Time

NEW YORK (AP) — Talk show host and former football star Michael Strahan is expected to soon join the cast of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” at least on a part-time basis.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations who requested anonymity because the deal hasn’t been completed said Tuesday that Strahan will work semi-regularly during the show’s first hour. Strahan continues as host of the daytime talker “Live with Kelly and Michael.”

The top-rated morning news show has lost two male cast members in the past four months: Sam Champion to The Weather Channel and Josh Elliott to NBC Sports, the latter in a deal expected to be formally announced Wednesday. Talks with Strahan reportedly predate Elliott’s departure, announced on Sunday.
